In this series of articles I am going to expain how to configure SQL Server 2012 cluster step by step on Windows server 2008 server. To do this I have download SQL trail software from Microsoft and I have started installing it in my personal Lab.
Here, I am configuring Active/Passive cluster. so first I have installed SQL in first node after completion of this node we can add another node this cluster.
To configure SQL Cluster double click on SQLFULL_X86_ENU_Install and that will extract entire software to one folder.
Then SQL server Installation center message box will open here click on New SQL server failover cluster installation
One pop up message box will come as you can see in the below.
Installation wizard will ask you to specify SQL Edition give it and then enter Product key. In my case I am using Evaluation Edition and it has 180 Days of Validity.
Check the box on I accept the licence terms and click on Next
Here you no need to include Product updates simply click on Next
Setup will check support rules all the tests should be passed. or else we can safely ignore warnings. But It you got errors in this test it must be correct.
